PlatformTrack
PlatformTrack is a streaming availability tracking service that aggregates content catalogs from 17 major streaming platforms across 57 countries. It maintains a weekly refreshed database of titles, enabling users to check where a specific movie or show is available in each market. The platform provides browsing functionality by country or platform, side-by-side comparisons, and leaderboards of streaming depth. In addition to the web interface, an API is offered for developers to programmatically access the data, supporting integration into third-party applications. The service aims to reduce the friction caused by fragmented streaming rights and constantly changing catalogs.
